AGDC Data Collections
Select from menu and click Go to access data collection's Web page.
The AGDC Data Catalog contains data sets collected by individual investigators and products assembled from many different PI data sets, published literature, and other sources. The goal is to provide useful compilations of important geophysical parameters, such as accumulation rate or ice velocity. Additionally, the NOAA Paleoclimatology World Data Centers Ice Core Gateway provides a browse and visualization tool for ice core data archived by the AGDC and the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology, and the US ITASE iceREADER Web site provides access to Antarctic ice core data listed by ice core name and location.
PI Data Sets
See the PI Data Sets page for a list of data sets that are collected by individual investigators and funded by specific grants.
Contributed Products
These products are compiled and organized by other funding, and provided to AGDC for archive and distribution only. Contributed products are assembled from many different PI data sets, published literature, and other sources. The goal is to provide useful compilations of important geophysical parameters, such as accumulation rate and ice velocity.
